motorcycle helemet – best deal ?
Looking for a full-face sport bike helmet, what would you reccommend thats fairly cheap but nice quality ?
Would this be ok ? http://www.rockheadbikes.com/Shoei_TZ_R_Anthracite_p/shtzrnthrct.htm
please post a link to the helmet if possible
There are quite a few choices available, and most meet the required safety standards.
If you check out stores near you, find out the models they have available and check for reviews on-line.
Try them on. To me, this is an absolute necessity.
I have tried $500 helmets and $80 helmets….at both ends I have found helmets that I would not wear…because of the fit.
My first choice would be the one that best fits MY head, and that means you go to a bike shop and try on new helmets.
Too tight means you will be uncomfortable, too loose means it can shift around when you need it most, and that motion may actually cause injury to your head or neck.
A simple rule is: if it does not fit YOU very well, it is not a good deal and it is not a safe helmet, no matter the price.

When you said cheap I thought you meant like something off of ebay, dude that’s a Shoei, you’ll be quite fine with that.
Shark, AGV, Suomy, Icon, HJC, and scorpion exo are some brands that make very good bang for the buck helmets.
Arai is pretty dang expensive.

Icon Alliance SSR… One of the cheaper better helmets I have owned. It is durable and nice looking. I feel comfortable in the helmet and just as safe as my Aria helmet but at half the cost.
